   Hi Maurice,   
      
   On 2020-11-15 07:35:14, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>> they also know their location and offset to UTC, so they can   
    WvV>> present the correct localtime.   
      
    MK> When it presents the localtime exactly what information is it providing?   
      
   Asking the question is answering it: localtime.   
      
    WvV>> FTS-4008 Is right by definition. It's the fidonet standard.   
      
    MK> My country right or wrong?   
      
   What does your country have to do with it?   
      
    MK> FTS-4008 is a seriously flawed document.   
      
   No it isn't. It just documents current practice, as it was in fidonet at the   
   time it was drafted.   
      
    MK> It takes a legitimate concept (utc offset) and bastardizes it for no

    MK> RFC-3339 flag would be a much better approach for compensating for the

   It is how it is in fidonet. I would say almost impossible to change. So you   
   will just have to live with it.   
      
    MK>>> has it made any difference there in any meaningful way?   
      
    WvV>> Only if it's not 'TZUTC: 0000'. ;)   
      
    MK> Within this msg is one that presents a legitimate utc offset (-0800)   
    MK> encased in a TZUTC flag.  Does it make a difference?   
      
   Yes, now I know the real localtime when the message was written. I think   
   that's usefull information. It makes a difference when some one writes a   
   message in the middle of the night or during the day...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
